Publishing House: Prestel
Publication Date: September 2019
Offering the perfect blend of high-quality imagery and impeccable research, this magnificent book takes readers through the twentieth century to show how the watch, in all its forms, evolved. It charts the early rise of the wristwatch, shows how the cataclysmic events of the 1929 Wall Street Crash unexpectedly led to a golden age of watch production, and demonstrates how the electronic watch, which almost destroyed the traditional industry, led to a mechanical watch renaissance in the last two decades of the 20th century. Each decade opens with an introduction to the era’s stylistic and design highlights and then examines the development of specific genres of watches within each period. Hundreds of colour photographs in this book feature full page close ups that reveal intricate details of form, texture and design. Author Alexander Barter’s vast knowledge of the 20th-century watch informs his texts which discuss the major technological and design breakthroughs in a chronological format. This book also includes vintage advertisements and other promotional materials, helping to give a sense of the eras in which they were created. The perfect gift for watch aficionados, this beautiful and informative volume presents the world’s finest watches with an elegance and depth befitting its subject.

The Steinkirk. The Jabot. The Lavallière. The necktie has been worn many different ways throughout the centuries, but there is still no better symbol of a man’s sartorial sophistication. This small detail can pull together the components of an outfit while also speaking volumes about the wearer’s sense of personal style. And, just as the preferred embodiment of the tie has shifted over time, so too has what it signifies.
The Tie: A Global History takes readers through the necktie’s long history, from the seventeenth century through to the present day, when it has enjoyed renewed popularity thanks to the keen eyes of street style photographers and the well-turned out characters of the popular television series Mad Men. Today, as at the pinnacle of its popularity in the 1950s, the modern “long tie” calls to mind for most the working professional, but the tie’s history has included forays into womenswear and even rock and roll. Consistent throughout the popular accessory’s past is the predominance of Switzerland as a source of both designers and silks in trade, and the book documents the tradition of Swiss quality and style, drawing on the vast archives of the Swiss National Museum in Zürich, the home of an accompanying exhibition.
Lavishly produced with more than one hundred full-color images, The Tie follows on the enormously popular Pirate Silk, which reproduced photographs capturing Switzerland’s historic silk trade, turning the focus on the important moments in the history of this accessory.

A book on hats and their world has been missing for several years. Here is a beautiful book tracing the saga of a family of innovative industrialists who gave birth to some of the most coveted hat collections for decades. Through the reconstituted tools and workshops of the hatter’s accomplices, we rediscover these craftsmen who combined their know-how to give life to hats. The museum’s multiple and attractive collections are presented in a layout that highlights the shapes and materials and presents hats according to the major fashion trends, from the 18th century to the most prestigious contemporary designers. From the Museum to the Hat Workshop-Museum in Chazelles-sur-Lyon, five centuries of hat-making tradition. The Hat Museum, which has since become the Workshop-Museum, opened its doors in 1983. Its creation followed the decline of the local mono-industry of hat making. It is dedicated to the preservation of the hat-making memory and the active safeguarding of know-how. It is labeled “Museum of France”. The author : Éliane Bolomier, born in Lyon, studied ethnology. Her various research projects in the Monts du Lyonnais region led her to Chazelles-sur-Lyon, where she founded the Musée du Chapeau, which in 2013 became La Chapellerie, atelier-musée du Chapeau. She has been the curator since 1985 and has already published several books on the subject: La Chapellerie à Chazelles-sur-Lyon, Approche technique et historique ; Cent ans de Chapeaux 1870-1970 ; Le Chapeau, Grand art et savoir-faire ; L’encyclopédie du couvre-chef.
